Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Drew on November 17, 2005, 12:04:20 AM: In the spirit of politcial incorrectness this is a thread to bitch about things in every day life that piss you off.

Why am I starting this you ask? Because I can.

First on my list is people who take the elevator up one floor. For the love of God, if you are too lazy to walk up one fucking flight of stairs you need to die. Seriously.

Oh and if you are too fat or crippled to walk up one flight of stairs see my above recommendation.

Post by: Pornomonkey on November 17, 2005, 01:25:14 AM: People that take more than 10 items to the Express Lane at your local grocer. God damn them all!

Lawn gnomes. I hate them, every second person in this town has at least a pair of secretive lawn gnomes. I despise them, they sit there, or stand rather, and stare, at absolutely nothing. What good are they? Useless in every sense, other than to inflict meaningless curiosity in those such as myself...

Post by: Bob on November 17, 2005, 04:35:46 PM: Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam.

It makes me angry when I receive about 300 emails a day, and having around 3 of them be actual emails from people. Stupid spam. I think we should form a vigilante group (possibly similar to the A-team) and hunt down all spammers and kill them until they die from it.

The only other problem will be what to kill them with. Ak's or Lightsabre.

Oh the choices.

Post by: Drew on November 17, 2005, 10:40:22 PM: Okay how about when you are driving really fast in the left lane of hte highway, blowing by everyone. Then up ahead someone in the right lane pulls out in front of you to pass someone that was in the right lane in front of them.

And then...they don't speed up to pass! And it takes them like 10 fucking minutes to accelerate, meanwhile you want to just start ramming them until they spin off the road and die in a fiery blaze like the ignorant bastards deserve.

Post by: Skywalker on November 18, 2005, 08:14:47 AM: You know what really grinds my gears... people that breathe loud. WTF! Have you ever had to sit next to someone on an airplane or something and they for some reason cannot breathe quietly. Seriously... you've had all your life to learn how to breathe... get with the program or give up... please!

I'm sure this thread is gonna be a hit, I hate alot of people for alot of stuff. :angry: Now where's the Tylenol?

Post by: Skywalker on November 18, 2005, 08:36:18 AM: Got another one...
Those idiots who sue for anything. It's your fault you're fat, not McDonalds. It's your fault you spilled coffee on yourself, not McDonalds.
Sorry that your kid got shot, but it isn't the gun makers fault it's the kid who shot your kid's fault. The list goes on and on!
Some idiot sued Apple because iTunes only works with iPod. Some crackhead sued the NASA because they shot a probe into a comet; she said that it would put the stars out of alignment and affect her horoscope and therefore cause her mental anguish. Or suing NBC and the show Fear Factor because it made you vomit. If you're such a pussy TURN IT OFF!!! ARRRG! Idiots! :punch:
Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Drew on November 18, 2005, 07:16:13 PM: Okay I know my first one was about fat people but I just can't help these ones.

Firstly fat people who wear skimpy clothes, with their fat hanging out. Do these people actually look in the mirror before they leave the house? And if they do...do they say "Oh man, my blubber falling out of my tiny tank top looks so sexy. Men everywhere will want to bang me"? For all of our sake's please stop making me want to vomit six times in the span of the ten minutes it takes me to walk from one end of a mall to the other.

Secondly, I love it when fat people are so fat that they have resorted to a cane or motorized scooter to get around. Oh wait, I don't love that at all. If you have reached that point where you can't even be bothered to walk, please kindly drive your scooter off a cliff and save me the trouble of being pissed off at your existence.

and Shad, "Seriously... you've had all your life to learn how to breathe... get with the program or give up... please!" I'm not gonna lie, a little pee came out."

What really gets my goose is B.C. drivers, only in B.C. can you be driving in a straight line on a highway and hit your breaks for no fucking reason at all. You get yourself all steady to break for like a deer or a dead fucking Moose, nope, it was probably a butterfly.

Post by: Jami on November 19, 2005, 03:15:18 AM: You are an angry group of people, though I do agree about the fat people. Especially those that wear spandex and have clumps of skin that makes it hang in weird, unnatural ways.

Post by: Drew on November 21, 2005, 01:08:40 AM: Saskatchewan...need I say more? Probably not, but of course I shall anyways.

Ah, the land of the flat, a place where you can watch your dog run away for three days and never lose sight of him. What a sucky province, people are fleeing from there daily to escape the squallor that is matched only by the Third World.

In fact I think people are actually moving from Sask to places like Somalia to seek improved living conditions. Seriously, I could fill a bathtub with horse shit, call it a province and people would be lined up to move their families out of Saskatchewan and into the tub.

Phew, I feel much better. Time for a drink.

Post by: Mikal on November 21, 2005, 10:10:57 PM: Andrew doesn't your family hail from the wonderful Maretimes...... At least the flat-landers have agriculture, you people out East had fish, but squandered it, and now want more money to fix your crumbling region, sink into the ocean, open your mouths and enjoy the view from the bottom. :poke:

Now for my bitch. I hate morbidly fat people that say they have "fat genes", your fat jeans are the size 80 levi's your kids use for tents on the weekend. If you didn't supersize and king size everything you wouldn't be huge.. And on that same note, if your fat and you want to diet. Eating 15 low fat, low calorie bars in one sitting is still going to keep your thighs rubbing together. It's called self control. JUST DON'T EAT SO MUCH YOU FAT BASTARDS!
Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Drew on November 21, 2005, 10:32:50 PM: Touche Mike, touche. I love how this is turning into a bash fat people topic.

While we are at it, what about all those damn fad diets they are always heralding? "Oh if I don't eat (fill in random single food or food group of your choice) I will lose weight and not be completely disgusting". Wrong!

If you hopped on a fucking treadmill for once you might have a chance...but probably not. Safer bet would be to play in traffic and stop bothering me.
Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Mikal on November 21, 2005, 10:43:15 PM: Here's one that really pisses me off, and will undoubtly piss off some others. Religion and more specifically, Jahova's witnesses ( I hope I spelt it wrong). They come to my door every Saturday and stand there till it's answered. Every week we tell them to leave and yet, with fanatic like resiliance they keep coming back, just in case over the course of the week we have decided to join.. Take your inverted nipples and your doom saying pamphlets and get off my steps.

I rewrote this whole thing to just deal with the Jahov's. Don't get me started on anyone else!
Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Ryan on November 22, 2005, 09:02:04 PM: Well I guess that I should get in on this bitching session.

First off, people that bitch about the weather when there is nothing at all to bitch about. Yesterday on the train some old hag was complaining that the forecast was for 14 degrees, and she thought that it was only 10 degrees. Excuse me?? Is this a problem for November 21st in Calgary?? I think not. I felt like turning around and just losing it... "DO YOU REALIZE WHAT FUCKING DAY OF THE YEAR IT IS AND YOU ARE COMPLAINING THAT IT IS 10 DEGREES?!?!?!?"

So there is rant #1, rant #2 to commence shortly.
Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Ryan on November 22, 2005, 09:08:15 PM: Okay, so bitch #2.

People that light up there damn cigarettes while walking across the bridge over Crowchild to get to U of C. Excuse me, but I don't need a dose of second hand filth to fill my lungs first thing in the morning. I had enough of that in grade 10 while walking through the side doors at Beaverbrook, I don't need some ignorant asshole to continue the destruction of my healthy lungs. All you have to do is wait 1 minute until you get across the bridge and down the stairs, then you can smoke all you want. Next time I see/smell/choke from someone doing that I swear I am going to toss the pathetic waste of space they call their body over the edge and into the rampant traffic below.

I feel much better, I think I enjoy this thread. A hand goes out to my brother for starting this free stress release session.
Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Ryan on November 22, 2005, 09:14:08 PM: Ah yes. While I'm in the wasting time at school mode, I may as well continue to vent.

How about people that feel the need to slow down on Deerfoot for NO REASON AT ALL, only to hold up endless amount of traffic. For instance, I was in first gear for 10 minutes on Deerfoot the other day, only to have the wall of traffic suddenly clear. Why were we held up you ask?? I have no idea. No accident, no police, no sun, nadda. Just a bunch of people felt like slowing down, and voila!! A traffic jam!! And then to cap it all off, I had the distinct pleasure of driving 90 km/h the rest of the way just because no one felt like speeding up. The police say they are going to start giving out more tickets and fines and such, so I suggest they start with the dumbasses that drive TOO DAMN SLOW!!!! Let's try and avoid getting rear ended again because the dipshit ahead of me hits his breaks shall we??
Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Ryan on November 23, 2005, 06:38:37 AM: Well no one else posted today, so I shall just be the community post whore. I gotta take what I can get right? heh

I think I willl begin with c-train rants now. I think I could post a few of these, so let's start with hygene. Nothing is worse then being on a crowded, hot and stuffy train and having an overweight (there we go with the fat person cracks again) ogre step up right beside you and lift his/her arm to hold onto the handle and expose their sweaty pit stains to you. My god people, I think a pre-requisite for going out in public should be basic hygene. The smell of your bodily emissions is just too much for the rest of us commuters to take. Do us, and yourself, a favour and walk to your next destination to lose a few pounds. Maybe then you'll be able to control that putrid smell that you must think is pleasant, how else could you live with yourself?

:hug: this smilie is solely for the purpose of stealing it for msn, I certainly would not hug someone that smells like the person that sat beside me today... Do we have any puking smilies??
Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Skywalker on November 23, 2005, 11:34:16 PM: I just realized another when I flicked by that tabloid garbage know as Entertainment Tonight on TV... hey that’s another thing I hate... before I even got to my original topic.

Gossip mags and shows... what a waste of time! I hate people whose only knowledge of the outside world is derived from People and Star. I'm sure there's something more important happening in the world than what dress that that slut Paris Hiltion wore out to the bar the night before or how Hillary Duff's new teeth make her look like a horse.

Anyways, my original rant was about Scientology... and Tom Cruse because I just don't like him or his stupid face.

I can't belive that a religion that was founded by a frickin science fiction writer has sucked in so many idiots. He was not a nuclear physicist or even a graduate of a legitimate university as he claimed. He was a bigamist and a hardcore drug abuser.

They claim their religion is based in science... well the last time I checked science never showed that there was a race of aliens shipped to earth by an evil galactic emperor named Xenu way before humans were around. I'm not making any of this up by the way!!! Then Xenu enslaved the aliens using his evil psychic influence before slaughtering them all. Now hundreds of these alien sprits called thetans infect every human and only scientology has the way to rid ourselves of these thetans and let us achieve our god-like natural powers. Yaaaaa... uh huh... Let's all get on the train to fucking quackville.

Now i'm not exactly a fan of most religions but Scientology just seems to be especially fucked up, especially considering how much money you have to give to the cult and how they control everything you think or do.
Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Ryan on November 24, 2005, 12:32:54 AM: *edited due to new situations*

And now for another C-train rant. This one actually is not so much of a rant, as it is funny. I guess the rant part would be those annoying little shits that feel the need to blast their music as loud as possible while sitting beside you. Excuse me, but I don't need to listen to Eminem trash gay people while I'm trying to study for my Multiple Regression test... However, on the flip side, I do love the people who play the most embarrassing music for us all to hear. This one day there was this huge black guy that was just groovin' to his tunes, cranked up as loud as can be:

"I am beautiful, no matter what they say. Words can't bring me down. I am beautiful, in every single way. Yes words can't bring me down. Ohhh no. So don't you bring me down today..."

Oh you manly man you!! Christina Aguilera is exactly what I thought you would be listening to! Needless to say, some of us on the train had a good laugh at this guy. Good thing his thuggin' lyrics were too loud for him to hear us chuckling at him. GO GO DIRRTY GIRL!! :censor:

Leaving poor ol' me to be stuck behind some jackass that deems it necessary to hold up EVERYBODY else behind him. For the love of god, STEP OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE YOU STOP MOVING YOU IGNORANT BASTARD!!

On another note, I've tried to rassle up a few new members, but I am meeting much resistance with the whole joining bit. Any thoughts? Threaten them with violence perhaps? You aren't allowed to reply to my question without first posting a rant though. That is all for now...

Post by: Drew on November 24, 2005, 10:25:11 PM: Alright, how about those long descriptive msn names? I mean the ones that go on for like three lines that go into detail about everything they have done for the past six years of their life and describe what they are going to do next, which is always guaranteed to be something inane.

An example to illustrate: "Jane Doe - went to teh partyzz last night omg lolz it wsa awesom cuz joe was dere he is sooo hot lol!11 today going to make a sadnwich and tehn watch some tv with rebecca you go girlie you are so hawt llololol :) then prolly taking a nap then going to teh mallz"

At the risk of being sexist or ignorant (a risk I realize I take at least every 10 minutes) these are normally women, hence the "Jane" in my example. To steal a saying from Bob (I'm an unoriginal bastard like that) these names make me want to drink bleach.

Nobody cares! Go write a fucking blog or something! Oh God I realized that I hate those things too...might have to deal with that in a future post. But until then, make sure you delete these people from your msn lists pronto.
Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Bob on November 24, 2005, 11:38:16 PM: I was actually going to throw that one down myself. But well done I say.

My rant of the day.

Sure this may be stereo-typing but let's be honest. Americans. Seriously, everyone in Canada knows damn well the USA has their thanksgiving in november while we have ours in October but there isnt one damn american that could tell you that. "Why doesn't Canada have a 4th of July" We do you bastards.It may not be a holiday here but the day still passes. We just dont all get more drunk then usual and launch fireworks at our neighbours houses. It makes me want to bomb them from my igloo.

The following are clips that confirm my obvious correctness.
Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Skywalker on November 25, 2005, 12:56:59 AM: Well at least there's one American we can like... that kid who interrupts his mother "hang on... Canada has provinces." Maybe all hope is not lost.
Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Ryan on November 25, 2005, 01:33:48 AM: Oh no, I would have to say all hope is indeed lost. I mean, if they can actually think we are to the south of them, give me a break.... Very funny stuff though, definitely keeping those to do some good ol' American bashing!
Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Mikal on November 25, 2005, 07:05:56 PM: Alright, this one is for all the ignorant mothers and fathers out there.

If you have baby or small child with you, and it's screaming at the top of it's lungs cause you won't buy it (insert useless item) what it wants, just ignoring it makes everyone around you want to shake your child to death. These parents should be forced to undergo some sort of operation to remove there sexual organs and have an implant inserted into there ears that plays only crying babies at different volumes all day long..

Just a thought.
Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Drew on November 26, 2005, 05:20:57 PM: Sobriety.

That's right folks, I contend that this was not meant to be Man's (or Woman's) natural state of being, and that really gets my proverbial goat.

Ever wake up in the morning and not want to go to work/school/court like you are suppposed to? That is because you are missing some of the liquid motivation that your body so desperately needs.

Drunk is clearly the superior alternative. Think of all the things that alchohol can do for you: help you sing, help you dance, make you irresistable to the opposite sex, increases your driving skills, and makes you at least 10 times smarter (this is a modest estimate of the powers of this liquid brain juice).

To further my point let us turn to a couple of definitions:

Sober adj.: Not intoxicated or affected by the use of drugs; marked by seriousness, gravity, or solemnity of conduct or character; basically the state of being a general wanker and having no friends whatsoever; having little marked purpose in life; in short BORING.

Drunk adj.: Intoxicated with alcoholic liquor to the point of impairment of physical and mental faculties; the state of being when thousands of women want to sleep with you because you are suddenly way too sexy; reaching a supreme level of happiness and inner peace; basically you are now a God.

I don't know about you people, but I know which I would choose in a pinch.

So in conclusion, down with sobriety and all hail drunkenness. Do yourself's a favour and drop whatever you are doing and go get plastered right now. The world will be a better place tomorrow I promise. :drunk:

Post by: Drew on November 28, 2005, 11:34:51 PM: First off, bad Jami! I sense a roundhouse kick to the face in your near future and we dare not stand in his way.

Now to the real business. This one will be brief because I have the attention span of a goldfish today, deal with it.

People who can't use virus scanning programs. I swear the number of people who pop up on my messenger and send viruses through email is retarded. At least once a week I hear someone bitching about their computer being slow.

I can't comprehend this for the life of me. It's not like these programs are hard to use. You install and it pretty much does everything. I don't think I have ever gotten a single virus on my computer. This leads me to the inescapable conclusion that these people are just plain dumb and that pisses me off.

Of course I am sure that these are the exact same people who buy the most expensive computer on the market but can barely use Microsoft Word and then bother me about stupid formatting issues. I didn't realize it was that fucking hard to figure out how to double space your document. Or heaven forbid you learn keyboard shortcuts.

That's another thing...people who insist on highlighting a sentence with the mouse then right clicking and clicking copy then moving the cursor and right clicking and clicking paste. In the time it takes them I could copy and paste 20 things. Argh, people have to take a test before they are allowed to use a computer. For that matter there should be a test before people are allowed to interact with me. If you fail it means you will likely piss me off and should therefore be shot.

Okay I guess that wasn't as short as I expected. Guess I got a little carried away. Until next time.

I would have been eligible to play this year if the dipshits who run the show in this nation wouldn't have been too fucking lazy to fill out some paper work and match up the age restriction with the rest of the world. Thanks to those jackasses, the playdowns are filled with terrible teams that I could have steam-rolled with a 3 man team. Props to the CCA for biting the big one and depriving me of another chance to make the most amazing quadruple ever at Provincials, as well as depriving the eventual Canadian champions, as they will be at a disadvantage in comparison to the rest of the world. :fingers:

Post by: Drew on February 14, 2006, 07:56:41 PM: In the spirit of our revival I felt it was necessary to bring you back a topic that once was, and still is, near and dear to my heart.

Today I was reflecting on the Olympics. Now the Olympics themselves don't piss me off, it's the people that watch the Olympics.

Notice how all of a sudden everyone becomes an expert on sports overnight as soon as they watch their first Olympic broadcast of the year? Yesterday I was at school in the student lounge watching the speed skating. Of course Wotherspoon was supposed to get a medal and after his first skate he was ranked fifth. This caused innumberable people (see: fat chicks) to start to complain and criticize: "Oh he wasn't trying hard enough...if I was at the Olympics I would at least try my best".

Excuse me? You get out of breath walking to class and yet these athletes aren't trying hard enough for you? How about you shut the fuck up and I won't kick you in the fucking teeth.

I swear to God...I dare the next ignorant armchair athelete to piss me off. Then they can win a gold medal in getting their ass stomped by yours truly. Bring that home for Canada bitch.

Post by: Drew on February 25, 2006, 12:00:33 AM: So as I watch the Olympics it occurs to me that there are alot of shitty flags in this world. I sometimes feel that our flag is lacking in the coolness department but at least we gave it a half assed effort. The number of countries that just pick 2-3 random colours and put them in bars is astounding. Come on at least try a little.

Way to represent your country, you have three bars of colour. That is pretty damn weak if you ask me. Try to put a picture on there at least or a star or freakin' anything! I can't even tell these damn places apart. And apparently this mediocrity is something to strive for. Take Russia for instance. When they were still the USSR they had a pretty cool flag with a hammer and sickle. Now they stole France's and turned it on its side. Brilliant, I am in awe.

P.S. If you point out that the order of colours is different with the Russian flag I tell you now that I don't care and will kick you in the groin at our next meeting.

Way to represent your country, you have three bars of colour. That is pretty damn weak if you ask me.

Title: Things that piss you off
Post by: Drew on March 14, 2006, 11:49:45 PM: Okay it's time for a real rant now.

So I try to send an envelope the other day in the mail. It was one of those manilla ones, so not standard letter size here. I figured that maybe one stamp wasn't enough but I sent it anyway. So today I get it back, insufficient postage for that envelope size. So I think, okay I'll just slap another stamp on there and send it away. But already I'm thinking, Canada Post is probably going to screw me so I'd better check it out.

I go online and find that oversized envelopes (of which this is) require postage of $1.05. Now guess what denominations regular stamps are? If you guessed .51 then you win a prize. So with two stamps I have a grand total of $1.02, three fucking cents short.

Now you know they did this on purpose. They figure most people are going to be too lazy to go and buy three one cent stamps. Or maybe they sell a three cent stamp, who the fuck knows. The point is they are trying to scam everyone in Canada by betting on the fact that we will put 3 stamps on just so we don't have to get three cents worth of postage. So now everyone is paying an extra 48 cents per envelope. To make matters worse if your oversized envelope is over 100g you have to pay 1.78. What the hell kind of number is that? I think they just pull these out of their damn asses.

So to spite them I am going to find me three 1 cent stamps or one 3 cent stamp because I am not so easily scammed. I have your number Canada Post. It is stuff like this that makes me want to bring a high powered rifle down to the post office and start shooting...but of course I rest easy knowing that it is only a matter of time before one of their employees does it for me anyway.

Post by: Ryan on March 15, 2006, 04:45:24 AM: Hahahaha, that was an awesome rant. And it's funny, because I do believe that Larry was ranting about this very same topic a little while back when they changed the rates to screw people over by 3 cents. Perhaps you two should screw Canada Post together.

Post by: Drew on March 19, 2006, 06:30:16 PM: I think you have misunderstood both my previous post and that one. Firstly I was not complaining about your grammar (or lack thereof). I was actually hoping you would expound on your statement.

You seem to be correcting me by stating that it is the postal workers who use the high powered rifles. Thus implying that it is not I that use it but the workers. However, I specifically said that I would do it if it were not for the fact that an employee would do it for me eventually anyway.

So you see part of my joke was that postal workers were indeed the ones using the guns. My most recent post was seeking some measure of clarification because I felt that you were needlessly correcting me.

Post by: Skywalker on July 29, 2006, 12:24:54 AM: This forum has had a distinct lack or rage lately, and as the only rage I feel right now is towards Edmonton (which has been conveyed many times) I figured that I would search the internet to see what other people hate. Here is what I found... I seriously cannot stop laughing at these.

--------------------

"Look, this is a website about horses and how much we hate them. They are gross and stupid and disgusting and smell like shit. There are flies all over them and they make dumb noises. HORSES ARE TERRIBLE!!!

I am shaking right now because I hate horses so much. I hate them the way that fat people hate diets, the way that lazy people hate work, the way that Jewish people hate Hitler, the way black people hate white people. I REALLY HATE THEM!!

AHHHHHHHHHH!

If you're reading this and you don't hate horses, you better get the fuck out of here! This website is not for you!!! Only retards and poor people love horses. SHUT UP!

I'm going to go break some horse's leg, then shoot it to put it out of its - and my - misery!!!"

--------------------

You can take your tea bags and shove them up your ass. The results will taste alot better than that crap you brew. British people are all the same with their bad teeth, bad breathe, and their butchery of the english language.

How can you respect a man who wears a big tall furry hate (see photograph). And all british people dress so ridiculously too. I guess I thought of something good the french could do, swim the channel and teach the british how to dress.

And british people are so snobby and think they are better than everyone else. God save the queen... news flash for you british fairies: THE QUEEN IS OLDER THAN JESUS!! God won't save her and no amount of surgery, radition, or drugs can either. Oh wait, isn't she dead? That makes me feel good.

And they call soccer football. My friends in football you can tackle people.

"I say there chap" says the british fairy, "you can tackle people in football too."
"It is called soccer you prick and no you can't tackle anybody in it," I replied."
"I say there sport" says the british prick, "tackling is where you steal the ball."
"No you flying pinko fairy tackling is where you pound the guy with the ball into the ground, and stealing the ball is where a black dude swats it away from another black dude. In soccer it is called 'being gay'," I say to him with a complete lack of respect.

Soccer is so boring how do the watch. And well they managed to take Americans Favorite (and most boring) pasttime baseball and turn it into something more boring and more stupid. I give you cricket:

Doesn't make sense to you? Good then you aren't a british person. I don't hate you... or do I? Are you a baby? Are you french? I would probably hate you anyway.

I guess I hate british people

Post by: Skywalker on August 10, 2006, 09:59:37 PM: Unions! I fucking hate Unions! What a load of rubbish they are! Sure they were good back in the 1800's or in 3rd world countries before things such as labor laws, but now all they do is make companies pay exorbitant wages to people that don't deserve to be making that much money. For example, take a look at how much bus drivers make... I'm sure there are a ton of people out there that would get their license and do the same job for 3/4 of the wage. All unions do now is drive up prices that consumers will have to pay for goods and services.

This summer I had to become part of the evil empire for my job at EPCOR since I was classified as a temp employee. That 20 bucks off of every paycheque for union dues drives me fucking crazy!! They do shit all for me... in fact they probably do worse than shit all... being part of the union probably limited what they could pay me as a temp employee because the union has a common pay scale for most of it's workers. Be it me (a summer student in regulatory affairs with an economics degree) or some random high school dropout jerk who digs ditches.

Good thing when I move to permanent here at EPCOR I will no longer be part of this useless union. Then I can direct my energy to finding ways for EPCOR to rid itself of the rotting vestigial appendage otherwise know and CSU Local 52.

Down with the Unions!

This middle aged woman in my law class keeps bringing her fucking kid to class. The kid is about 2-3 years old. For the first week I thought: "Okay she just hasn't had time to find a babysitter so this is just temporary."

Wrong! This is week two and the little shithead is still here. It's not that he/she (I can't figure out what the bastard is) is making noise, I'm just pissed off about the principal of the thing. For the love of God if you decide to go to law school, find a fucking babysitter or keep or God damn legs closed.

She was upset because she didnt know it would be so expensive. After trying not to laugh at her for several minutes I made my way out to my vehicle in the parking lot. And I had to chuckle when I saw the bitchy lady get into her brand new $60,000 Acura SUV. Some people like to bitch just for the bitching. And that pisses me off.

Post by: Drew on October 10, 2006, 06:37:08 PM: I'll make this short and sweet if I can.

My current cable television package contains the five Sportsnet Channels: Pacific, West, Ontario, East, and HD. However, according to Sportsnet, certain Regional Broadcast Regulations force them to blackout regional games outside the area. So here I am with Sportsnet West in Fredericton and when the Flames game comes on...bam, blacked out.

Now what the hell purpose does that serve? I understand blacking out in the city to encourage people to go to the game. But why black me out? Am I going to buy a ticket and fly out there to watch them get their asses beat by San Jose?

In short I pay for 5 of the same sports channel. The only thing that made them different was the games they show. But I guess that isn't the case. They have not heard the last of me. I will have my vengence, there are only so many Sens games I can watch before I go nuts.

The little mail button rarely ever actually connects me to my live mail account. And since I got the "new" version of live mail I can't look at people's my space accounts... And this is the best part. Everytime I manage to get to a myspace account, if I try too look at someone's galleries, it links me to my galleries.....WHAT THE FUCK!

Anyways, I needed to get that out before I actually put a brick through my monitor, or sent descrete white envelopes, filled with fine white powder too the windows head office.

I fucking hate people that drag around those god damm mini bags with the wheels and long handle. You see them all the time now at school, downtown, or in the airports. For fuck's sake pick up your bag and don't be such a fucking useless sack of skin!!! I always want to just come up behind these people, wind up, and boot that stupid bag out of their hands.

I also realised that people that don't walk up and down escalators really piss me off... they were built with steps for a reason... so you can walk up and down them. If you are to lazy to take 15 steps on an escalator you should not be allowed to live. It's even worse when people stand right in the middle so they block the whole escalator so everyone has to stop.

Lastly, Edmonton!!! I can't take this weather any more!!! Since Mid October there has not been a single day where it wasn't snowing or colder than hell... seriously not one!!! If it's not the cold it's the snow and if it's not the snow it's the cold... I don't think I can take it much longer, I'm seriously ready to slit my wrists.

That is all... now where's the Advil?

Do you know what pisses me off? What Steve, What? I'll tell you what.

SouthCentre's marketing department. They bought like 6 segway's (personal transport vehicle) for Mall administrators to be seen traveling the mall, answering any questions a patron may have. First off, instead of using the $42,000 they spent on these devices on something useful, oh I don't know, perhaps advertising, renovations, promotions, they spent it on these devices to interact with people, somehow while they are cruising at a speed of 12.5mph, towering over everyone, and intimidating to anyone stupid enough to get lost, or unable to read a directory (they don't even have to do that anymore, with the user-friendly ViCi "Vicky" touchscreens). "Yes, segways will put us back on track, they will make us forget our ills, help us interact, and identfiy our support staff with their helmets and 6'6 stature."

Post by: tominbc on December 01, 2006, 02:51:43 AM: Tradespeople! All of them! Pricks! I am fully aware that this includes myself, and I'm cool with that. They are all stubborn as fuck, especially when you blatenly prove they are full blown wrong!
Secondly, white collar corporatre whores(Shad for example). They always start these "I hate more than you" topics. Like you're the only one who gets pissed off! Seek counseling and get help.
Last but not least, I hate everything that in now way invloves me! If I'm not there it just doesn't count.

If anyone has any questions then they can go fuck themselves. Unless they are incredilbly hot women of they female persuasion. Then I will allow them to fly in and fuck me.

I hate people on the C-Train. All of them... I'm not biased. And for no good reason other than they continually invade my personal space and smell really bad.

I also hate soup and sandwhiches.

Post by: Drew on December 25, 2006, 12:34:16 AM: People who get offended when I say Merry Christmas. Not that I have seen these people, but if I met one I would slug them in their Christmas hating mouth. It is not "Happy Holidays". The holiday has a name, and in Canada it is called "Christmas". So if I want to wish you a merry one, just suck it up and deal with it. Or get out of my god damn country. Come to think, get out of my country anyway, that can be my Christmas present.

Post by: Ryan on January 24, 2007, 10:04:26 PM: This post is a few days delayed, but I still feel the desire to rant about it. I went to the Flames/Oilers game on Saturday a couple of weekends ago, and I decided that I was going to put Lombardi's name and number on my jersey that I got for Christmas. I go to the Fanatic (which is only open for jersey pressing on game days, ANNOYING!) and ask them about doing this. Apparently on this particular day (and it was still about an hour and a half before puck drop) they had run out of the letters E, N and R. How the fuck can they let this happen???? Name me a Flame that doesn't have one of an E, N or R in their name, let alone all 3 of them! I'll tell you who, Moss and Boyd. I didn't check the rest on the website, but I couldn't think of anyone else. So in conclusion, the people who run this store are a bunch of tards. I hope they didn't make a single dollar on that night because they couldn't print any names on jerseys for the rest of the night! Now I have to go back on a game night and hope that they don't run out of L's and B's as well. Hats off to the Fanatic store!
